Canadian Boreal Forest

The Canadian Boreal Forest is a vast, ancient woodland stretching across most of northern Canada. It covers about 4 million square kilometers and is one of the largest intact forest ecosystems in the world. Characterized by coniferous trees like pine, spruce, and fir, it provides critical habitat for wildlife such as caribou, bears, and wolves. The forest plays a vital role in regulating climate, storing carbon, and supporting Indigenous communities and sustainable industries like forestry and fishing. Its preservation is essential for ecological balance, biodiversity, and global carbon cycles.
